Wed, 27 Mar 2019 05:00:00 -0400Turns out children arrive with no manual. There's no coherent online tutorial.
Between staying up to date with emerging technologies and balancing work and home life in an industry that often requires un-timeable bug fixes, on call schedules, and more, working parents are balancing a lot.
Parents are also exploring additional technical issues like "screen time" or internet privacy, coming at these issues from a different perspective as technologists ourselves.
We cover all of these topics and more using a panel of parents coming from diverse perspectives and a variety of technological backgrounds. We'll shine light onto these issues and provide a valuable food for thought for these folks.

She talks about dealing with fussiness, nursing, how much employees and co-workers aren't bothered by babies, and that having the babies at work actually make for a much happier baby! 56:40noParent Driven Development
Episode 013: Babies at Work?!
00:15 Welcome, Leah Silber! (https://twitter.com/wifelette)
Leah is the CEO of Tilde Inc. (https://www.tilde.io/) She is also an organizer of EmberConf (https://emberconf.com/), RustConf (https://rustconf.com/) and RailsConf (https://railsconf.com/), and Ember.js Core Team (https://www.emberjs.com/team/) Member, a jQuery Core Team (https://jquery.org/team/) alum, author of Event Driven: How to Run Memorable Tech Conferences (https://leanpub.com/eventdriven/), and all around technophile.
01:08 KWu is Planning Her Son's 1st Birthday Party! + How Old Are They?
Don't let first birthday parties get out of hand. Not worth it. Get a cake. Let the kid smash. Also, please stop referring to your child's age in months when they turn 2.
04:05 Babies at Work: It’s Weird that it’s Weird (https://hackernoon.com/babies-at-work-its-weird-that-it-s-weird-b285b070d456)
In August 2017, Leah wrote this blog post and it was super well received. In the blog post, she talks about a lot of the objections and concern she had at first that turned out to be unfounded. It turns out, bringing her baby to work changed the mood and culture of Tilde in a positive way -- even among self-proclaimed "non-baby people".
09:26 What About The Fussy Days?
Working from home can be an option especially on days like vaccination days.
Having a quiet area like a conference room or an empty office gets people through short fussy spells.
If that doesn't work, going home is encouraged.
Leah says that having the babies at work made actually for a much happier baby!
17:56 Nursing
Up to the mom! Breastfeeding in public is acceptable, and there are dedicated nursing rooms/spaces to keep it legal (and more private)
It becomes normalized! People don't even notice
Squatty Potty (https://www.squattypotty.com/)
23:53 Culture From The Core
Stating expectations for parents/non-parents during the interview process
Scaling as children age
Bring the Nanny to work too!
Older children must be up to date on vaccinations
Becomes a routine
32:43 Does Company Size Matter?
Just because there are 50 people in a company does not mean that the volume of babies is going to go up
Setting a limit is an option: luck of the draw
The bigger the company, the more space non-baby people have to stay away from the babies
35:02 Program Evolution
Effects on Nannies
Beneficial for dads too!
42:37 Avoiding Judgement
Turns out, people (who aren't the child's parents) are more helpful than judgemental
Pets are not babies...no, your dog can not come to work because my baby is here
48:31 Genius / Fail Moments
KWu: Water coming out of the tub faucet is fascinating and acts as a baby magnet to draw them to the bathroom for a bath! (#Genius)
Allison: Creating an insane schedule of hodgepodge childcare that involves massive amounts of logistics. (#Fail)
Leah: Shoutout to the parents who think their kids will never walk. Her son started walking at 18 months! (#Genius)
